As I walk down the aisles of the grocery store, every now and then I see a package that will make me smile. Rarely does the package actually smile at me. Designed by David Brier, the brand and packaging for Botanical Bakery out of Napa Valley is fun, quirky and full of personality.

Creating the lips out of a leaf was the perfect match, since the lips, like lipstick, can change with each flavor as the lips announce the flavors to the customer. The grinning leaf lips with the tag line Natural. Delectable. Unapologetic. is a match made in heaven.

And while I have not tasted the contents of the smiling package, the colors and typography lead me to believe my smile would remain well beyond the first bite.

I love the typography; it makes me think the product is quirky and playful, especially with the filled-in letters on "Lavender" and "Cinnamon Basil."

Love the brand identity, leaf as a smile...fantastic!

I would buy just because the packaging is super awesome.

Awesome packaging, really is perfect to attract the consumers. In the Bakery Industry, it's not easy to be green. Packaged foods need to be airtight to maintain freshness and eliminates the chance of decomposition. Bakery packaging machines should offer the features such as Keeping products fresh, easy to operate, and building strong branding.

Love it... first time reading FPO... great resource... Thank you!

I love these! There's a lot going on but it's seamless and REALLY pleasing.
